The personal finance, tech, and corporate work world has a huge communication gap when it comes to educational content. They often cater to certain audiences with over-complicated terms and information that leaves most of us lost and confused. That’s why I created my own free financial literacy, career, and side hustle resource platform to make financial education more accessible – and not just the saving part, but the earning part too.
In addition to creating I Like to Dabble on the side of my 9-to-5 job as a software engineer and growing to over 100k monthly readers between the site and social media, I’ve also been featured in The New York Times, Investopedia, CNBC, MSN, Business Insider, and was named one of TIME NextAdvisor’s Most Influential New Voices of Money 2022. That led me to now, where I work as a technical writer, finance blog writer, content manager, and am a member of the CNET Money Expert Review Board.
My approach to writing includes showcasing real-life examples in my storytelling while being informative and engaging. If you’re looking for a writer and content manager to create great content that resonates with readers, I’m your gal. I’d love to chat via email at daniella@iliketodabble.com.
